How can I create Campaign Content for my Automation's Send Email Action?

You're in luck! Creating your first Automation Campaign with Moosend is super easy! Once your campaign is ready, you can select it in the send email action of your Automation to fetch its content.

The campaign creation process itself consists of 5 very simple and very straightforward steps:

Step 1: Campaign SettingsYou set the Name for your campaign.

Step 2: Select FormatYou select whether you want to send out a plain text campaign or a modern HTML campaign, which can contain images, links, text and other cool components. Opt for HTML every time, worry not, we will create the plain text one for you too!

1. Set up the available fields.You'll have to enter the following information:

Campaign NameThe name of your campaign, for internal use only. Use a name that will help you find your campaign later on!

2. Toggle the two available boxes depending on your preferences.

The first box allows you to track your campaigns through Google Analytics. The box below that, allows you to disable click tracking via Moosend in case you don't want to use click tracking, or if you intend to use another application to this end. We don't mind, you should work exactly how you prefer, just make sure that you don't tick the box if you want us to track your link clicks!

1. Click on the Take me to the Editor button if you haven't created your campaign content yet.

Our Campaign Editor provides you with super powerful tools to design the most effective newsletters (coding HTML while using drag-n'-drop at the same time, adding personalization tags to your campaign, etc), while remaining easy to use.

E. Testing Spam and Delivery

1. Choose the Design and Delivery Test tab, if you want to test the look and delivery of your campaign by sending it to a small group of test emails.

This way you can check how your campaign displays on various email service providers (e.g. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo!) before sending it to your actual subscribers. You can add up to 5 email addresses, separated by commas, and have it shipped to them as a test.

2. Choose the Content spam test tab, to make sure your campaign passes all the popular spam filters set by email clients.

Our spam testing tool lets you make sure your newsletter will not end up in your recipients' junk folder. You'll get all this with just one click on the Get Spam Report button.
